Samsung Galaxy S4 - Exynos Variant for India

Samsung is still mum about which region will receive the 8-core phone but a tip from SamMobile hints at India receiving the much-awaited phone.

While unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung announced that the next flagship phone will come with two core variants: the 1.9 Ghz Quad Core variant and the Octa Exynos variant. While Samsung is still mum about which region will receive which, a tip from SamMobile hints at India receiving the latter version. Though we still do not know why Samsung decided to divide the variants on the basis of processors, we’re definitely elated to be getting the Exynos version.

The Exynos Octa core processor is made up of 2 Quad-core processors. While 4 processors are clocked at 1.2 GHz and will handle the ordinary tasks like calls and messaging. The more powerful 1.6 GHz processor is reserved for gaming and multi-taking. Samsung has divided functions seamlessly between the two CPUs and there will be no over-lapping or interchanging. At a time just one CPU will function and the two of them will not function together for any task.

The list of countries getting the Exynos processor according to the leak by SamMobile are:

ChinaIndia

Africa

Indonesia

South Korea

Russia

Sri Lanka

Countries getting the quad-core variant are:

Australia

Singapore

Switzerland

Netherlands

European Nations (except Ukraine)
